Hello Paul and community, Thanks for your note. After your mail, I went into the work directory of the port and did a manual ./configure and "make all"... This seems to have worked and indeed installed the mipsel-linux-binutils port. Then I went ahead and tried to install mipsel-linux-gcc34 and I ran into following issue for the gcc34 port: port install mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Fetching mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Extracting mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Applying patches to mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Configuring mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Building mipsel-linux-gcc34 with target all <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/ var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_cross_mipsel-linux-gcc34/work/gcc-3.4.4" && AR_FOR_TARGET=/opt/ local/cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ar AS_FOR_TARGET=/opt/local/cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc/mipsel-linux- uclibc/bin/as LD_FOR_TARGET=/opt/local/cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc/ mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ld NM_FOR_TARGET=/opt/local/cross/mipsel- linux-uclibc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/nm RANLIB_FOR_TARGET=/opt/local/ cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc/{target}/bin/ranlib PATH=/opt/local/cross/ mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/ usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin make all" returned error 2 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Command output: TARGET_CPU_DEFAULT="" \ HEADERS="ansidecl.h" DEFINES="" \ /bin/sh ./mkconfig.sh tconfig.h echo '#define FLOAT' > fp-bit.c echo '#ifdef __MIPSEL__' >> fp-bit.c echo '#define FLOAT_BIT_ORDER_MISMATCH' >> fp-bit.c echo '#endif' >> fp-bit.c echo '#define QUIET_NAN_NEGATED' >> fp-bit.c cat ./config/fp-bit.c >> fp-bit.c echo '#ifdef __MIPSEL__' > dp-bit.c echo '#define FLOAT_BIT_ORDER_MISMATCH' >> dp-bit.c echo '#endif' >> dp-bit.c echo '#define QUIET_NAN_NEGATED' >> dp-bit.c cat ./config/fp-bit.c >> dp-bit.c /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_cross_mipsel-linux-gcc34/work/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/xgcc -B/opt/local/ var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_cross_mipsel-linux-gcc34/work/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/ -B/opt/local/cross/ mipsel-linux-uclibc//mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ -B/opt/local/cross/ mipsel-linux-uclibc//mipsel-linux-uclibc/lib/ -isystem /opt/local/ cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc//mipsel-linux-uclibc/include -isystem /opt/ local/cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc//mipsel-linux-uclibc/sys-include -O2 - DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE -DUSE_UCLIBC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings - Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition - isystem ./include -I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./../include -g0 -finhibit- size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero- initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time \ -c ./crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \ -o crtbegin.o /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand 'E' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand 'O' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand '2' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand '0' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand '3' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: Flag option -2 has already been seen! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand '2' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand 'K' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand 'P' flag! /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: Flag option -o has already been seen!

If one look into the shell command (I have marked it in red color as well as '<<<<<<' block in error message above), I see that the passed in AR_FOR_TARGET it set to "opt/local/cross/mipsel-linux-uclibc/ mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ar " This is what confuses me.... These ar, as, ld etc. utilities are not present in the path pointed to by the command. Is it a wise judgement to say that those should have been installed by the mipsel-linux-binutils port? From the error output, it seems that 'as' being used is the default 'as' that comes with MAC OS X (on Intel). Next issue is the -g and -n flag to the gcc compiler. I am using the default apple gcc compiler with following details: #gcc -v Using built-in specs.

Anyone in the community have any idea about such issue? Thanks, Pravin On Oct 11, 2006, at 3:11 PM, Paul Franz wrote:

It looks like to me that the configure.args file failed to be created. From the below it seems that it is expecting it to be in a certain directory. I have never installed this port. So I have never encountered the problem.

Hello Guys,

I am not sure if anyone of the community members received this mail. So am just sending the mail again. Hopefully someone will reply soon.

Thanks, Pravin

I am working on a embedded project and need to install mipsel-linux- * toolchain on MAC OS X 10.4.8. I have downloaded Darwinport/ Macport (version 1.320).

I get following error when trying to install mipsel-linux-gcc34:

sudo port install mipsel-linux-gcc34 ---> Building mipsel-linux-binutils with target all Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/ local/var/db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_ dports_cross_mipsel-linux-binutils/work/binutils-2.16.1" && make all" returned error 2 Command output: Configuring in libiberty configure: loading cache ./config.cache checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for makeinfo... makeinfo checking for perl... perl checking build system type...

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: mipsel-linux- binutils mipsel-linux-uclib-headers mipsel-linux-kernel-headers Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I am not sure why I am getting the "invalid configuration" error for these mipsel-linux* ports.

I have been able to install other packages using Macport such as 'ddd' etc...

Can you kindly help me understanding what is the issue with mipsel- linux* macports?

Thanks in advance.

Pravin
